What is Type1 and Type2 DV?
There are two types of DV format. Type I and Type II. One has audio as a seperate track, the other has the audio interleaved throughout. It is set by the program that transfer the video to the PC. Not all software will open both types. You can convert between Type1 and Type2 DV with no video quality loss, some free converters:Ulead DV Type 1 to DV Type 2 ConverterCanopus DV File ConverterDVdate

I recently copied video footage from a sony digitalHi8 camcorder onto my computer using sony picture package. I then burned this footage to DVD using ASHAMPOO 6 burning studio . The subsequent dvd will only play on my computer and not on any of 3 other dvd players in the house. HELP!!!!

I am on here to get help as apart from basic computing I am hopeless....

Hey goldhead download software like convertxtodvd. This converts any format to a playable format on any dvd. The format you burned the dvd only plays on computer (it may be an wmv format). Therefore, you need to change the format and that is what convertxtodvd does.
